congratulations to mr & mrs eric severson!
upon walking off the cruise ship in florida, i flew out of orlando to go watch my amazing sister cassandra get married to her best friend eric in the los angeles temple. it was a beautiful ceremony and such a blessing to be apart of it with my family (sadly austin could not attend because of military training...wahh wahh). they were sealed in the same room my family was sealed in 15 years ago, which was a wonderful reminder of the blessings of an eternal family. i couldn't be happier for my sister, who has always been my biggest competitor, critic, confidant, and supporter in all that i do (those who know us well, know how true this statement is) always making me a better person along the way. and eric is seriously so awesome, they make a great couple--disclosure: i consistently badgered her long before they started dating, when they were *just friends* that she totally needed to go on at least a date with him because he was so awesome and fun, but she was continually adamant that it wasn't like that, they were just friends... well...well 1 year later and they are married!
i had to post this picture as well because i just can't believe how much my sisters and i look alike. this picture is with ahkong, our dad's father; our late ahboo (grandmother) passed away a year ago, but we knew she was there all day with us in spirit.
while at home i also got to celebrate my brother jt going on a mission. he will be serving as a missionary for
the church of jesus christ of latter day saints for 2 years in the san pablo, philippines mission, speaking tagalog. we are so excited for him to serve in the philippines, and feel extra blessed for his calling to serve the filipino people as our dad was born and raised there. we are so excited for jt to go and serve, and know he will be the best missionary. jt has always been the jokester in our family, with a sensitive, kind, and loving attitude toward everyone; we know his big heart will touch and bless the lives of many in the philippines. if you want to know more about his mission feel free to click on the
church link or follow my brother's
blog.
as a last hoorah before jt left we went to disneyland and disney's california adventure parks. i
hate roller coasters, but in support of him i went on the california screaming ride. note: his face is a joke, mine is real.
